Henry Beard and John Richardson, were jointly indicted for a highway robbery, putting in bodily fear John Quondrum, and stealing from a dray a large quantity of property, belonging jointly to Robert Lethbridge and Richard Alcorn, at Anville Creek, Maitland, on the 5th of June ; and John McMullin was indicted for receiving part of the property, well knowing it to have been before feloniously stolen. It appeared that the bushrangers met the Drayton the road between Maitland and Alcorn s Inn, near Anville Creek, and made the driver Quondrum, and a man of Allman s who was with him and had a cart in charge, to drive into the bush; the robbers then made the servants unload the dray of a puncheon of rum, a cask of brandy, and a large quantity of other property, and put it upon the cart with which they made two trips further into the bush, and hid the plunder. Quondrum gave information to Mr. Coulson, who with the Mounted Police tracked and secured the marauders, and found part of the property in the house of McMullin. Guilty. McMullin was then removed from the bar, and Beard and Richardson were again indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling-house of William Harper, putting the inmates in bodily fear, and stealing a gun at Hunter s River ; the prisoners were again found guilty, and having been called up for judgment, the learned Judge passed the awful sentence of death upon them, and ordered them for execution this morning without a hope of mercy. McMullin who had been convicted of receiving the stolen property, was ordered to be transported for fourteen years.
